Positives: True center with great all around skills. Can play with his back to the basket, shoot threes and even can put the ball on the floor and take his man of the dribble. Fundamentally really sound.

Negatives: Lacks athleticism and stamina.

Summary: Has gotten some buzz from NBA scouts who see him as a decent back-up type player in the NBA. Though his game is a little reminiscent of Mehmet Okur, he doesn't have Okur's upside because of his lack of athleticism. A potential second-round pick.

Re: Official Draft Thread

Stahn-KO BAHR-rach is the correct pronunciation.

Strengths: Gritty big man with a good jump hook and shooting touch. Can hit from the perimeter and take his man off the dribble. Needs to get stronger. Solid shot-blocker. Has rapidly developed over the last several years.

Re: Official Draft Thread

Ive wanted a poor mans memet okur since I was a little kid. Well with a couple of yours of euro ball seasoning he will be a poor mans okur...just not quite as athletic as that specimen. This move just reeks of a super savy Larry Bird move

then: adverb - at that time; at the time in question

than: conjunction & preposition - introducing the second element in a comparison

Re: Official Draft Thread

this strikes me as a total desperation trade by larry... what are the odds he was going to make the miami roster? pick him up later if you like him so much. why trade a future 2nd? to me it seems like larry said, "well i can't come back empty handed..."
